Written by Brigadier General Pickens, the well-known partisan fighter of South Carolina, to Major General Greene as commander of the Southern Department. Due to orders from Governor John Mathews, he is now occupying ground previously occupied by General Francis Marion. Apologizes that fewer men are in the brigade than expected. Says the harvest wasn't finished and troops wanted to stay behind because a group of Tories recently marched through the area. Expects these men to filter into the camp in a few days. Written from Bacon's Bridge, in Summerville, South Carolina.
